Fairytales die x

Beastly eyes
Running red rivers disguised
On the banks blood lies

Waterfalls smash
Rumble and crash
Water spits
like an intravenous drip

Humming birds cry
As the swell is vaporised
Rocks that crumble
And trees that fly

Mermaids crying
For mermen that are dying
The spectacular demolishment
Of a scenery once serene
A dashing equivalent
To something thought up in my dream

I wake in a sweat
And my throat escapes a silent scream

There's a little girl laughing
She's laughing straight at me

Her hands on her hips
And soft from her lips
She quotes
"And to Think you thought these things exist"

I turn to run
But there's no exit or escape
I duck for cover
But ducks die in this placid lake

Night fall closes in
And it's getting late
The little girl settles in
She eats snails as she waits

She speaks no more
Just sits patiently
Waiting for the lake
To take my sanity
I cringe inwardly

I'm not sure if I'm more afraid
Of her
Or of me

Like a porcelain statue
She laps water silently
I'm restless and freaking
The atmosphere reeking

The lake spills blood
And bunny rabbits are eating it
Cinderella is cleaning it
Oh fuck I hope
I'm dreaming it

Snow White appears carrying seven dead dwarfs
She has masculine arms
And she's sorting through their corps

She starts chewing like a cannibal
With a silver fork
Oh fuck she devoured the whole
Seven like pork

Dusts off her dress
And sings whilst she walks

I'm gleaming with sweat
I can't help but scream
And the little girl runs
Sets her vicious eyes upon me

She covers my screams
With a scarf made of bone
And silently from her lips she says
" welcome home "

I'm simply as scared as I have ever been
And when I look in her eyes
All I see there is me

The fantasy the tales
All twisted reality
The dream and the bloodshed
Immortalising mortality

The lights turn on
And off goes the screen
The alarm starts singing
Time to wake from the dream

And as I stand
And stretch
Settle my eyes
I realise .....

The little girl inside me
Has finally died x
